Yes I get the impression we are less cultured on the east coast! Queenslanders are the worst, but then, I think that's a well known fact when it comes to most things isn't it?

I find the use of the word "UnAustralian" as an insult extremely funny. People have described me as "UnAustralian" on occassions which has me in giggles of agreement much to the bemusement of the name-caller since they obviously intended me to be hurt and offended by the suggestion!:rofl:

It always follows with a picture of a guy with a huge beer gut and a massive bushy beard...I now cannot imagine a battler looking any other way.

"Beer'o'clock"? I had no idea this was considered Australian? In fact I've just started watching Season2 of "Life on Mars" - which surely is as quitessentially English as is possible - and the term "Beer'o'clock" was definately used by Detective Chief Inspector Gene Hunt!! (surely a character not too heavily influenced by Australian culture?) One of my pet hates is how the majority of Australians, including the PM, start a sentence after being asked a question with, "Now look", or "Look".... |

You are missing the point. They aren't funny Aussie ways, they are perfectly normal Aussie ways. If you go to the shops all dressed up with shoes on then you have funny British ways. When in Rome and all that:)

Oh yes, well said. (Sorry, oh f*** yeah!). It you don't like it, go home. And as far as most of us Aussies are concerned (yes, there are always the dickheads), the word 'Unaustralian' is only ever meant as a joke. Originating in the point that Aus is such a multicultural country that everything and nothing can be 'Unaustralian'. We bloody well say it to each other, so quit taking everything so seriously! It's SO Unaustralian!
:rofl: As for 'unaustralian', then howcome it's said on the news in serious situations, Eddie McGuire said it when the miners were trapped, John Howard said it during the Cronulla riots and I could go on. A joke my a*se.:sneaky: |
